This is a hardcore vanilla SMP that is still pretty new and that makes it feel fresh. It runs on hardcore difficulty so every time you die it really matters.
You only get a limited number of lives before you are banned for the whole season. Each time you get banned it lasts longer until you finally get a permanent ban for that season. So you need to actually think before you jump into fights.
When you first join you get some starter tools and also invisibility and regeneration. This helps you get away from the spawn area fast and avoids spawn killing. They said spawn killing almost never happens but they still protect you just in case.
The server is up 24 7 and it is run as a free community server. There are no ranks and no pay to win stuff. It is on Minecraft version 1.21.11 and Bedrock 1.21.131 so you know exactly what to use.
Overall it feels like a fair but punishing place where every life counts and the community is focused on survival instead of buying advantages.
